Plot

A string of confessions unveil a tale of religious guilt, sin and redemption in this short experimental drama.

Inspired by an early childhood memory, Helen Warner’s Stigma is a fable of religious guilt. Set against the backdrop of 1940s rural Ireland, Warner’s film sees a community flock to denounce an alone and ostracised woman. The most striking element of Warner’s short is her pinpoint cinematography. Capturing the vast and bleak rural landscape of Ireland, it offers the film a surprising texture almost akin to 70s folk horror. DN is delighted to premiere Warner’s experimental drama online today and spoke with her about Stigma’s early genesis and adapting her personal experience to a background central to Ireland’s religious heritage
